Spain continues to register constant growth in the electrified passenger car market. Despite this trend, the sales volume and growth rate are still very low. ANFAC warns that Spain will fall far short of the target of 190,000 units set for this year.
José López-Tafall, general director of ANFAC, indicated that “the electrified vehicle is advancing in Spain. Even so, our market has a share of 12% of the total market, a figure that is far from the pace in Europe, which exceeds 20%, and in Portugal, which reaches a 28% share and continues to grow. We must remind all those who want to switch to electrified mobility that, today, Spain is one of the countries that provides the most aid for the purchase of a 100% electric vehicle: up to 10,000 euros if we add the MOVES III plan and the 15 deduction % up to 3,000 euros for your purchase in personal income tax. At ANFAC, we work together with the Government to continue the aid plans beyond December 31, 2023 when the MOVES III term ends. Not having aid for the purchase of zero-emission vehicles or the installation of charging points would represent a brake on electrification. A stoppage that would further deepen the distance between the locomotive that is Europe and the caboose in which we are, both in penetration of electrified vehicles and charging infrastructure.”
